What a lot of fun this was. Bertie - I think you were older than 13 when we got electricty. I was chased by the bull the summer that I was 10. They were afraid that they could loose one of us and wanted a picture of us all together. Mama made the suits that Lois, Patti and I are wearing that she had made on her new sewing machine. You are 6 years older than we are so don't you think you were older than 13 and they got electricity the June that Wesley graduated and Auntie had come out to the farm. Remember. Do you think I have the time line right here. This will give you something to think about. Maybe Wayne or Wesley would remember the actual year then we will know for sure.
What a great idea, thanks Emma. Great to see everyone altho camera shy Bob not in it, too bad as the best looking guy of the bunch ! ! Lane, the family picture was taken in 1955. Wayne was in the Montreal General in 1955 & you were chased by the bull. We got power around that time. I remember Wayne standing in the kitchen looking up at the new light & had to sit down. Wesley graduated high school in 1955. The suits Lane & I wore, Mamma copied the pattern from one that was handed in, one of our suits was a hand me down, the other one made new by her. You couldn't tell the difference. She was a clever woman, Patty's was new. Wayne you will know the exact year you were in the General. Too bad about your camera for Zoom Patty. Hazel
